After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we strove in jihad, performed prayers, fasted, did many good deeds, and many people accepted Islam at our hands, and we hope for the reward of these deeds. My father said: But I, by the One in whose hand is the soul of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), prefer that those deeds (which we did with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) remain established for us, and for all the deeds we did after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we attain equal salvation.
